Spanish fishing licences are not valid for the whole of Spain.
Each region has it's own fishing licence and if you wish to fish in more than one region you
will need a valid fishing licence for each region. For example: in Catalunya,
you will require a licence from the Catalan authorities. It is not valid in any other region.
In Catalunya the fishing licence is available from several outlets and costs a little over 14
euros. If you wish, it is possible for you to arrange your
spanish fishing licence
for the Catalan area online. The application form is in English.
